United Nations - ISS CubeSat Deployment

The United Nations Office for Outer Space affairs has announced the United
Nations/Japan Cooperation Programme on CubeSat Deployment from the ISS Kibo
module 'KiboCUBE'

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) and the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are pleased to announce the United
Nations/Japan Cooperation Programme on CubeSat Deployment from the
International Space Station (ISS) Japanese Experiment Module (Kibo)
"KiboCUBE".

KiboCUBE is the dedicated collaboration between UNOOSA and JAXA in
utilizing the ISS Kibo for the world. KiboCUBE aims to provide educational
or research institutions from developing countries of United Nations
membership with opportunities to deploy, from the ISS Kibo, cube satellites
(CubeSats) which they develop and manufacture.

Currently, the only way to deploy CubeSats from the ISS is from Kibo.
Kibo's unique capability is comprised of an airlock system and a robotic
arm. The first orbital deployment of CubeSats from Kibo was successfully
conducted in October 2012 through the Small Satellite Orbital Deployer
developed by JAXA. Since then, nano-satellites and CubeSats from various
countries around the world have been deployed from Kibo.

The deployment of CubeSats from ISS is easier than the direct deployment by
a launch vehicle thanks to the lower vibration environment during launch.
With this comparatively less demanding interface requirements, UNOOSA and
JAXA believe that KiboCUBE will lower the threshold of space activities and
will contribute to build national capacity in spacecraft engineering,
design and construction.

UNOOSA and JAXA are looking forward to many applications!!
